This was our second visit to Hale Lani and we love it! The location is excellent for getting to all the spots we love, and the house and hosts are delightful. We will be back! Aloha!
We had a great visit with easy access to the Kohala beaches. The backyard has a great view of the ocean with plenty of seating where we could read our books, drink cold beverages and not have to compete with crowds.
We would love to stay here again.
We loved the location and amenities of this house. Wonderfully equipped kitchen, lovely mountain and ocean views, and lots of beach equipment (chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc.). We’ll want to rent it on our next trip, thanks for sharing it with us!
Everything was clean and neat, had many "extras" like updated appliances, washer/dryer. Ocean views. Centrally located: close to great beaches, close to areas we spent time at (Hawi, Volcanoes, Kona, etc.)
This rental property is well equipped and beautifully decorated. The house has a great backyard patio and is close to all the best beaches. Short drive to Waimea, Kona, Mauna Kea and Hawi.
I have been coming to Hawaii for several years this is by far the best place I have stayed. It felt like home and was stocked as we stayed two weeks. I really loved the property, great location, super view and great energy here. I will definitely come back again.
I love love love this home. I have stayed several times. Location is great. A few friends and family for a retreat and to enjoy the beautiful Hawaii island. This place is magical. The owners are so kind. The home is clean with a great view. Love it.
We really loved and appreciated our time at this delightful house on the Big Island. From our first moments there making us feel welcome with the fresh bread, wine and other goodies, to all the fun and thoughtful touches in this house, it was absolutely wonderful!! Mahalo!
We love th area, close to our favorite beaches, fish market, and everything else you need. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. Great ocean view and a wonderful back yard to hang out in. Fresh bread when we arrived too! Everything was as good or better than advertised. We will be back.
This place was immaculately clean, spacious and wonderfully decorated. We loved the location- just 5 minutes from Hapuna and 15 minutes from Waimea and 30 minutes from Kona. Lovely private back yard to sun bath in and look at the stars at night. Owners are lovely and communicative. We will be back!
During the wettest and windiest time spent on BI, this property had everything we needed & more. We cooked all our meals at home in a gourmet kitchen with all amenities. The central location is perfect for exploring with terrific access to the ocean. Loved it!
Property is well taken care of and Nicole and Nicholas took great care of us. The house had everything we could have needed for our stay to include beach items. House is located closer to many of the beaches, but farther away from the more urban Kona area. We really enjoyed the location and home. The small issue we had was quickly resolved and didn't impact our stay at all. Highly recommend for your tropical getaway.
Nicole and Nick were fabulous hosts. The house was extremely clean and we arrived to thoughtful and homemade gifts. Kitchen was well stocked, house was equipped with towels, blankets, sheets, etc. Plenty of room for our family of 7! Thank you for everything. We can’t wait to return.
Our little family had the best stay here! The house was extremely well stocked, the space was perfect for our family of four and we made so many memories here, but what really put things over the top were our wonderful hosts. They were extremely thoughtful throughout our stay from the fresh baked bread at check in after our late flight, to dropping off a basket of toys for our boys on a day that looked like it might rain, to letting us hang on to the snorkel gear and boogie boards for the day after checkout to pass the time before our flight home at the beach in style. The house was an incredible home base for all of our adventures on the Big Island, and we hope to be able to stay here again if we get the chance to come back!
The location of this property is awesome. The best part is the host. There was great communication and if problems had occurred, I’m sure they would have been resolved quickly. I even tried to book the following week, but it wasn’t available:)
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Nicole and Nicholas went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well supplied in the house. All of the little details that make the difference were handled. We arrived very late in the evening to a fresh loaf of bread and butter, a bottle of wine, and coffee beans for the morning. What a joy for a late flight.
The view on the lanai is to die for and the proximity to the beaches is wonderful.
We have been doing VRBO rentals on the Big Island for the last 7 years and this was the best rental we have stayed at for both the property and the hosts.
Thank you - we plan to return!
We had a lovely time staying at Nicole and Nicholas’s home. It was spotless when we arrived, and the thought that went into the extras they provided (fresh baked Hawaiian bread, Hawaiian sodas in the fridge, coffee and more) combined with how helpful they were if we needed anything, made our stay extra special. Location is very convenient to several beaches. This is a perfect choice if you don’t care for the resort vibe and want your own outdoor space. The only thing is there is some noise from the road if you are hanging outside but otherwise, Nicole and Nicholas’s spot is a gem. Highly recommended.
Loved how clean and well stocked the rental was. The beach umbrellas and chairs they provided were super helpful. Beautiful oceans views (just don’t expect a lush tropical landscape, this is the dry side of the island). 5-15 minutes away from lots of awesome beaches. Hosts were great with communication and provided lovely touches like a bottle of wine, freshly baked bread and a bag of coffee. And only 15 minute drive to cute town of Waimea. Only downsides are a bit of traffic noise, master bathroom doesn’t have a door and a few ants (but the hosts were upfront about it and they leave as soon as fast as they appear)

Unbelievable -A Little Villina, within minutes of best beaches.
It seems like many vacation rentals show fancy pictures, which they don’t live up to. This home is even better than you expect. It’s like going to your well-traveled relative’s home, where they have been very thoughtful of your comfort.
A great base to explore much of the island, with beaches close enough to go twice a day. Could be charging a lot more for this property. Thank you so much!
We have looked for a long time to find a rental that felt like our second home, and we found it. If VRBO was looking for an example of how to present an accommodation, this wonderful place would be their template. From the greeting at the door, to the well -stocked kitchen and modern appliances, to air conditioning that works, an exquisite master bath and shower, beautiful decor, great location to beaches and hiking, and attentive hosts, our only disappointment is we didn't book for a longer period. We resolved that by already booking for a longer stay next year.
The privacy of staying in a home instead of a clamorous hotel is conducive to true relaxation, for us. We enjoyed having the comfort of a clean, well supplied house to wake up in and have coffee and breakfast on our secluded patio.
We also enjoyed happy hour at the end of the day on the patio and barbecued dinner there a couple of times.
There is a lot of traffic noise just below (but out of sight of) the rear of the property beyond the patio and yard. We adjusted to it and ignored it…choosing to enjoy the scenery and the ocean view.
Our home owner provided some delicious Kona Coffee upon arrival and surprised us with a loaf of delicious fresh-baked bread mid-week.
All appliances were fairly new, very clean and in good working order. We had any utensils we required at hand in abundance.
The location is out of town and isolated, although, it is only a few minutes to groceries, restaurants abc beaches. We would stay here again.
We had the good fortune of staying at this wonderful home for about a week and a half. My son is a boarding student up in Waimea, which was an easy drive for him each morning. I also had a friend visiting and we loved the location because it was close to the beaches as well as a good launchpad for adventures to Hawi, Pololū, two-step and pine trees beach not to mention many stops at Hapuna. We made frequent use of the beach supplies, including chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel gear and towels. The home is decorated in true Hawaiian style and the neighborhood is close to everything but not touristy - a great way to experience the island “like a local”. The lanai and yard were perfect for watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee or enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, and functional. We would cook up a great meal and head to the nearby Blue Dragon to take in some live music under the stars. Self checkin was also a breeze and we were greeted with a loaf of homemade bread as well as other little treats. Nicole and Nicholas were responsive hosts who have thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable and memorable. Mahalo!!
